Justin Smeja: What We All Think About His Story

Guy Edwards sent us several questions to answer about our opinion on Justin Smeja's recent polygraph results. Whether the story is true or not, those involved in the investigation have become even more convinced that something did happen in October 2010. To those who are still on the fence about everything, you have to admit that it's a damn good story and it begs to be documented and retold.
Go check out Guy Edward's article about our thoughts on the matter. The questions were sent to Bart Cutino, Me, Ro Sahebi, and Carl Olinselot.

The nature of the story and how parts (and the parts themselves) of it are coming to light makes this intriguing. But remember, lie detector tests are only good at telling you the person believes what they are saying.

But Justin said he never believed in bigfoot before this. So its not like a bigfoot researcher who has believed in its existence for the last 20 years. Sleeveless shirt or not,this event really happened.

It did not happen. He shot a bear and one of its cubs. Then was paranoid about being caught, so made up this big huge story. Listen again to his account. AND, the DNA is "contaminated" with bear and human DNA.

Duh. He's got a cult following now with all these dumbasses filming him and shit.

People do not believe Justins story, but they believe other details? (like that he never believed or knew about bigfoot before the incident). SO people just pick and choose what to believe that he says?

I believe that the majority of people who are on the fence are getting tired of the lack of hard evidence (body, bones, live speciman), the blurry videos, hoaxes, delayed reports etc. The main problem I have with Smeja is his name, I keep wanting to call him smegma..

Glad not everyone in the world is a skeptic otherwise nothing would ever move foward.It always takes a certain amount of people willing to got out on a limb & believe in something for new discoveries to be made.I would have never been able to start my own business with an attitude that says show me the proof that it will work before i believe.Its called taking risks & if you're wrong at least you tried.

Nothing would ever move forward? How about... Uh....Science? You are a fine example of how poor education is in this country, and a strong indication of where this nation is headed. Unfortunately, since simpletons such as yourself have no breeding standards, you are multiplying like rabbits while the rest of us suffer what you think passes for logic.

Science usually starts out with the unknown & the belief in something that hasnt yet been discovered you imbecile.In the past you would have been on the side of people that said prove to me the earth is round. Until then you would just sit there saying look around its clearly flat.Science evolves because of people that arent afraid of saying something thats out of the norm.what would you call theoretical physicists.simpletons

Since you are unable to see the flaws in your own reasoning, I have to assume you are retarded, perhaps severely. Happily, you prove my point with such precision no further statement is required on my part. Thank you for insisting on declaring your abject stupidity far more effectively than I could ever hope to.

So where are all your scientists when it comes to this field.Hiding in their offices afraid of looking stupid for believing in something that hasn't yet been proven.I don't care how many scientists jump on board after this is proven real, the credit will always go to those who people like you call sleeveless rednecks.Besides even if the DNA comes out people will still not believe it until a redneck slaps the dead body of one these creatures on a scientists desk.

I'm the truest believer there is & i hate to even mention this because i'll sound like a smartass skeptic but how would bigfoots sneak up on prey if they stink so bad? i hunt coyotes & know how important scent is in nature.

moneymaker threw the towel in,the first week it broke, I think Shawn posted on this blog about it when the story broke, Team tazer(mike) isn't that much better, the stupid questions about the the gun and all the crap he gave/gives Randles,who is a good man and did a ton of work on the Sierra investigation. (hats off to you Derek !)Team Tazer will not receive not even one spec of credit for this story.

The lie detector,yes I know they can be beaten but I just don't see that being the case here, not because I don't want it to but because I just believe the guy I won't list all of the reasons why other than the people he has aligned himself with.If he went to Biscardi and dyer and came out with this I would have laughed my ass off and never gave it another thought.

I don't agree with what Justin did at all you can't get much lower than that.The thing is he did do it and I think he feels bad about it he just isn't the kind of guy that will sit and cry and beg for forgiveness.

All of the guys that went out last week I have much respect for and I don't think there is one in the lot of them that would be in on a hoax.I am not what anyone would consider "book smart" but I have been around long enough to read people and my personal opinion of Justin is the guy did what he said he did lie detector or not.

Intelligence comes in different forms gnrfan, book smart or wilderness or just plain old common sense. Theres an old saying "If you want to sound smart go to college, if you want to be smart go to nature" don't cut yourself short man.

Im glad he shot them and I hope more are shot so that the bodies can be studied. The whole Jane Goodall aproach will never work. Wishful thinking from a bunch of liberal tree huggin hippie environmentalist/animal rights a-holes!

Chop and kill ? Why is it the most sought after places people go involve trees and water ! So the general population are liberals and tree huggers? Hmmm asphalt for vacation or a tropical setting with a beach? Which would u choose?

I was trying to ignore this whole polygraph thing because I thought it would blow over in about a day and this website would get back to blobsquatches but apparently that is not the case.

People, a polygraph is a test of nervousness. If administered correctly it (theoretically) measures how nervous you are about saying what you are saying. They are notorious for giving false positives (which is the main reason that they aren’t admissible in court) but they give false negatives as well. A text book child abuser will usually pass a polygraph because they have spent years convincing themselves that it isn't abuse when they do it. Conversely a child who has been abused may well fail a polygraph because they feel afraid that they will be beaten if they tell the truth. Fear produces sympathetic nervous system stimulation (which is really what a polygraph is designed to measure) so it makes them look like they are lying.

The point is that all this shows (if it isn't an outright hoax) is that Smeja is comfortable saying what he is saying or that he knows how to fake a polygraph. If Smeja was comfortable saying what he was saying then that presents a number of possibilities:

1. He is a very comfortable liar.2. He thinks it's okay to lie to footers.3. He's schizophrenic.4. He shot a man in a suit.5. He shot a bear and decided that it was a Bigfoot.6. Etc..

I am somewhat surprised how many footers have been jumping on the “Sierra kills” bandwagon. If “the steak” turns out to be bear flesh some people are going to look tremendously foolish.

A few questions about the polygraph that really need to be asked. Given the refreshing 'no bullshit' nature of the Team Tazer guys, I expect all of these to be answered:

1) What is the background and experience level of the polygrapher?

2) Is the list of questions and indications released the full suite of questions asked?

3) Did the polygrapher conduct a preliminary interview with Mr. Smeja?

4) Did the polygrapher employ stim questions?

5) Did the polygrapher employ irrelevent questions?

6) Did the polygrapher employ control questions?

Polygraphs are a problematic vehicle to begin with, but from what has been released, this does not appear to be a rigorous or valid polygraph session. I sure hope that the polygraphy session was far more proper than the bits that have been released to the public.

He's right, your an idiot just like the other idiots that open there mouth before taking the time to read something themselves and get something answered...you just depend on others or blurt shit out. You probably don't even do your own f##king you troll

Glad those things got shot. Serves that dumb beast right for waving its arms like that. The baby was a bonus. Even of they are related to humans so what, people get shot all the time, who should care aboutt these? Wish he took the baby back, wouldnt mind having that thing stuffed in my dining room

If it's only a "story" then retell it to your heart's content. Just don't expect anybody to spend any money on it that has any "cents" because I'm all into Bigfoot for the nonfiction version, thank you.

An impressive share! I've just forwarded this onto a co-worker who has been conducting a little homework on this. And he in fact bought me dinner simply because I stumbled upon it for him... lol. So allow me to reword this.... Thank YOU for the meal!! But yeah, thanx for spending time to talk about this matter here on your blog.

I have been surfing online more than 2 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.

Seriously? I just stumbled across this story and not only is it filled with holes its ridiculous and laughable ... where to start?! If he (Smeja) is so concerned about his reputation and being "believed" ... after he allegedly killed the animals, given what he 'thought' he shot and killed, take a picture, take a sample? Take the body!! and being a hunter myself, I find the story offensive...as far as ethics go, what hunter worth his salt shoots and kills something and then leaves it not to mention shoots and kills something it allegedly doesn't know what it is? He didn't appear to be threatened in anyway, from what I've read and seen on TV, he shot FROM his vehicle! Then to return 35 days later?! I've killed deer and gone back to the site not 24 hours later and the end trails from the field dressing are gone...what did he think would be left?? Its almost laughable that this story is getting the attention it is. I suspect he drank a 24 while watching 'Fire in the Sky' and figured he would do the same thing with 'Bigfoot'. He said it bled "all over his boot" ... so have the boot blood analyzed? And he goes on above to say "I don't own a computer", yet he has a Facebook account and says he checks it? And does PodCasts? Is it me or are there some many inconsistencices and lies here its laughable. If your going to plan a hoax give it a little effort, I mean come on man, its 2013 not 1960. Your going to need more than a good story...even Patterson had video footage...
